I took a look at the new I_NONCE parameter...

Regarding this statement (Section 5.2.6):
"The I_NONCE parameter encapsulates a random value that is later used in the 
Master key creation process (see Section 6.3)."

Looking at Section 6.3 HIP DEX KEYMAT Generation, it discusses using 
Diffie-Hellman derived key Kij, but I don't see anything about using I_NONCE. 
There is a random #I  provided by the Responder from the PUZZLE parameter, but 
nothing about a random I_NONCE supplied by the Initiator.

minor nits:
s/when key is smaller or equal to 128 bits/when the key is smaller or equal to 
128 bits/
In Section 4.1.1 HIP Puzzle Mechanism, the links (HTML version) to RFC 7401 
sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 do not link to RFC 7401 but to the dex draft.
